Garden of Light
Organizers
Alongside the family and music programme series taking place on Margitsziget (Margaret Island), visitors can also enjoy a Garden of Light decorated with spectacular light installations in the Rózsakert (Rose Garden), also located on the island, over three days, from 20:30 until 01:00. The exciting light objects created by contemporary artists make the invisible visible, whether it's the power of magnetic fields or the communication between neurons, while also involving us, the viewers, and inviting us to interact. At this extraordinary event, we can admire a Moon shaped from light and a Sun visiting in the night, walk along a fairy-tale-like carpet of light, and immerse ourselves in the meditative and magical world of these light displays.
